There's at least 20 drivers logged on at shoreline for keith urban even before surge started ..

I monitor my signal at all times using LTE Discovery, thanks to a tip from Adieu. Even why my signal is at full strength in the 60's or 70's, surge is still absent on the app.

I've waited over an hour by not moving the map around and it still won't show, despite showing the surge in every other city around the bay.

It's just too much of a coincidence for it not to work properly for the city.

Full strength is ~43 on AT&T

50s is great, 60s good, 70s good for noncompetitive times, 80-100 only in areas where there's places without signal at all OR in queues, 100+ might as well be 3G or nothing at all

Signal must be weak in the bay area. I've never seen it below 62, no matter where in the bay I am.

It'll boil down to a specific parking spot, facing a specific direction

Your looking at old data. Your not getting a a solid data connection in most of these situations. The bars are not representative of your data connection. You can have four bars and zero data. your LTE is having to switch to slower speed networks when it loses a LTE connection so it can get stuck not finding a network.

We're not talking bars. Bars are for the uninitiated.

And they're also clearly spoofed. Sprint especially. Different operators will show different bar count for the exact same signal strength.
